Motor insurance is a flourishing market in Hong Kong, with an increase in gross written premium by 6.3% year-on-year in 2014 according to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. The AXA Hong Kong's offer named "Insure My Tesla", is a tailored motor insurance product for Tesla's customers which protects drivers on and off the road, including:

Electric vehicle specific coverage: for instance, in case of the accidental damage to the Wall Connector (Tesla home charger), the solution is covering the full replacement cost.

Tesla's professional repair and maintenance services: during the first year, Tesla's premium paintless body repair, and replacement of tyres and rims due to accidental damage are covered.

Lifestyle protection: additional lifestyle expenses reimbursement, such as pet care, home contents care, or home nursing and psychological treatment which is incurred whilst customers are hospitalised.
